I recently had major dental procedures performed at The Dental Connection Midtown Memphis by Dr. Dellwyn Turnipseed, and I am extremely pleased with the entire experience. From the moment I walked into the office, I was met with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Dr. Turnipseed is highly skilled, patient, and thorough in her approach. She took the time to explain every step of my treatment, making sure I was informed and comfortable throughout the process. The procedures were handled with great care, and the results have exceeded my expectations.

Her staff is equally exceptional—always courteous, efficient, and attentive. They made scheduling, follow-ups, and insurance matters seamless and stress-free. The environment is clean, well-organized, and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Turnipseed and her team to anyone seeking high-quality dental care delivered with professionalism and compassion. They truly set the standard for excellence in patient care.

Very pleasant experience from phone call to remind me of appointment, verification of insurance change, X-rays, cleaning and of course, the exam and report from Dr. Turnipseed herself! Respectfully, Sharon B Dowell

I was made aware of The Dental Connection through my brother, who had services done there. From the moment I entered I was impressed with the immaculate way the facility is kept. I scheduled an appointment for myself and I'm even more impressed with the entire staff from the receptionist to the dentist.

They are very thorough and make sure you understand what's being done and why. I highly recommend The Dental Connection!
